This book contains a stiff cardboard jacket with a plastic slot for each of the fifty quarters inside the front and back cover. The center consists of a booklet that gives information on each of the fifty states. What I really liked most about this is that is the size! The book is aprox 4.5" X 6.5" which makes it real easy to handle and store. I bought one of these for each of my children to have. It is much better than the huge cumbersome map they sell on TV!

this would probably be most appropriate for 2nd to 4th graders. My little third-grader loved it. It includes some basic information about the states and a map. Also shows when other state quarters will be issued. My only complaint---only one place is reserved for each states' quarters. As we know, there are two types of quarters issued for each state...one from Denver mint and one from Philadelphia mint. Therefore, this book is not for serious collectors. But kids will love it! States' quarters...gotta catch 'em all!

It has a hard cardboard cover with plastic slots on the inside to hold the quarters. Between the covers is about 50 or so pages, with a small page about each state in the order of their entry to the union. There is some basic statistical information about each state. It's a pretty good deal if you are looking for a simple place to keep your quarters. But if you want a display, it's not of high enough quality.

This folder was not as difficult to place the quarters in. It also has a nice layout giving kids information about each state. I prefer this one that the folder by Whitman.

The openings for the quarters are too big so the quarters do not snap in...they just fall out. The booklet that is attached to the folder has information about each state and is informative, but I will have to purchase an additional folder to hold the quarters. I am very disappointed in my purchase.

I originally wrote an extremely positive review for this product...I ordered 16 of this product- following my review...and the product had changed from the original one I had purchased. The original folder I purchased was published in 1999 and it was awesome- the 16 I purchased afterwards were published in 2005 and they are junk! The original had a fingernail slot with the quarter hole - making them easy to remove and replace- the newer one has just a round slot for the quarter- and some of them fall out- I gave 4 of them to my older grandchildren- along with the quarters- for them to do- not realizing that the design had changed - it was an utter fiasco- I had been so excited to give these to them- telling them "how cool" they were- and then they had such trouble getting them in the holes and then the quarters kept falling out. What a disappointment and what a rip- I am stuck with 12 inferior folders- besides the ones I gave away already! I can't believe this product is still on the market- Scholastic should pull it - and do a review- I can't believe they even let this item pass! It was made in China! GO FIGURE! The original was published in Canada! If I had a choice I would give this product a zero or negative. Don't waste your money - and if you ordered because of my original review- please except my apology!

Poor design; will not hold quarters. Frustrating for adults, much less for children to use.

The quaters are very difficult to get into the slots. After they are in the slots, they fall out. I got another one of these quater savers for .99 that does a much better job.

The size of this quarter album is nice, but it doesn't hold the quarters. I am very disappointed in this purchase and even more so in Scholastic who usually provides quality products. What a waste of money for my money!

Ditto what others have said. My son has this folder and the quarters will not stay in the plastic slots. As a result most of his collection has disappeared. There are other folders available that are much better. The best seem to be ones where you just press the coin tightly into a cardboard cutout.
